This is an amazing book, a wonderful start to the Black Point series, and an emotional roller coaster of the highest degree that still manages to be very entertaining due to a great sense of humor. Even though I originally read it when it first came out, being able to read it again now that it's been rereleased was a total treat. Matt and Thomas are an amazing couple, and I had forgotten most of the turmoil they go through in this first volume of the series. The question whom we really love, the person or their physical appearance, is put under the spotlight in this book. It's a great rendition of the thoughts and feelings that might go through someone's head as they discover the person they thought they loved, but had met only over the Internet, is really someone very different. In Thomas and Matt's case, the fundamental question is one of gender identity. But in many cases, more so ever since the Internet has become a powerful communication tool, it could be other characteristics.

Matt is a male/male erotic writer who has two books published. He is successful, but still very new to it all, and starts talking to Rose, the top writer in their genre only to discover he is falling in love with her. He cannot understand it because he is gay, and has never had any feelings for a woman like the ones he is beginning to develop for Rose. He is freaked out, scared, and doesn’t know what to do about it.

Rose has feelings for Matt as well, but "she" is really a gay man, Thomas, writing under a pseudonym. Thomas isn’t feeling too good either. He has deceived the world, which he is less worried about, and Matt. That begins to bother him a lot, and even though he used a female pseudonym because his agent recommended it when he first started, he is increasingly unhappy about the situation.

It all comes to a head when they go to the same romance convention and the deception comes to light. The tension on both sides is high, and I was glued to the pages to find out how it all ends. If you like stories that take a deeper look at who we really are as people, beyond what we look like to others, if you enjoy reading books set in beautiful Hawaii, and if you're looking for a book that is as hot as it is beautifully romantic and emotional, then you will probably like this novella as much as I did. I cannot wait for the other volumes to be rereleased as well, so I can follow Thomas and Matt's remaining adventures all over again!

I quite liked this story. The MCs were likable and the secondary characters were nicely written, if a little dramatic and OTT. (Fucking in the back of a moving Jeep with the top down and your brother driving?)

I loved the premise of this although I would have really liked to see more of Matt's confusion over why he was so attracted and connected to this woman he'd never met as well as more fallout when the MCs finally meet. I was left feeling a little 'meh' over the fact Matt pretty much managed to shrug off 'Rose's' deception and get right to the elevator shagging. I would have liked to connect more emotionally with the MCs.

Some of the transitions were clunky but overall, the writing was good: funny and sweet. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series. ( )
